Photographer's Note

Here are the ruins of Burrishoole Friary close to Newport in county Mayo. This dominican friary dedicated to Saint Mary was built in 1470 by Richard de Burgo of Turlough. It is at the back of Clew Bay, on the road from Westport to Achill Island, in a wonderful natural site at the estuary of Furnace Lough. This is one example of the many ruins of friaries you can find everywhere in Ireland.

Hallo Olivier!
You show us this impressive ruin from a very advantageous angle. The composition of the picture really is beautiful, as the colours and the light are. This must be a very special place.
Greetings from Germany - and have a nice wekend!

Olivier,
This is a well composed shot of this impressive ruin. The road leads the eye into the shot nicely giving the scene a nice sense of direction. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.

I went to Mayo in your gallery, I spent many a time here as my parents hail from this region of Ireland. I was also in Mayo and Galway while I was visting Scotland and England, but got nada imagery, the weather was really bad. Love the ruined old friar, it syill has enough to give you a imagination of what it lookedin its fomrer glory. I love the daylight conditions which have been handled well.
